The Sharps at Ringling Brothers Circus


All the Atlanta Sharps attended the Barnum & Bailey Circus today. This was Reagan's first circus and Christian's 3rd Barnum & Bailey and 5th overall. (Not bad for someone who's yet to turn 3!) Here is a funny story. On the way to the circus, Christian fell asleep about 15 minutes before we reached. It was the funniest thing to watch, because he knew where he was going, and fought the sleep so hard. He fell asleep and awoke about 5 times before sleep won the battle. What was funnier, as soon as I parked the car, he woke up, wide awake, ready to go. He had been looking forward to this since last week! Everybody really enjoyed the circus, especially Christian (of course) as well as Reagan. Dad (Pap Pap) enjoyed it as well (it goes without saying, of course! :o>) For a girl who's macocious (see previous post), Reagan really had a lot to see! The highlight was getting to ride the train around the floor and wave to the crowd and see everything up close. Leaving was a bit of a challenge, since we had severe storms occurring with a tornado warning close by, and I had to go out into the rain to get the car. (Stupid me left the umbrellas in the car!) Then it became more of a challenge since security moved Rhian and the kids before I could reach them. Thank goodness for our cell phones, or I'd probably still be driving around looking for them! :o)

P.S. If you're wondering about the hats, they're to honor Bello the clown's hair for Ringling Brother's Bellobration (as you will see in the pictures).
